Cartoon Network's Summer Look

[Arithmetician]

Did you see some of the new bumps today? Some of them were the schnitzel bumpers and some were the picket fence bumpers.

Expect to see more of these bumps next week, lol.

I'm getting kinda annoyed. I keep on turning to Cartoon Network to wait for the commercial breaks and all I keep seeing is the stupid fall bumps. I have yet to see the Schnitzel bumpers or the picket fence bumpers. Why don't they just put the Summer bumps on at the same time they take the fall bumps off instead of mixing the two together.
Oh, and you said that the Picket Fence bumps were orginally from the UK. Does that mean that these are not US original bumps??

[Mickialla]

Are you in America, or a different country. Because I'm confused. :sweat:

That's a very good question. Cuz if you're not in america, then that would solve a huge amount of confusion I'm currently struggling with. I don't think anyone else has seen the bumps as of yet. :sweat:

[lossermkg]

wow im confuse is this uk bumpers is this the bumper ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjOnbGSm-lQ . :cool: :confused:

[Racattack!Force]

That is an Australian/New Zeland Cartoon Network Bumper for their summer (which is already ending). :shrug:

[Mickialla]

[Mickialla]

Why is Arithmetician the only one who has seen these bumps??!!

[D Dubbs]

Why is Arithmetician the only one who has seen these bumps??!!


Because he has inside information.

[lossermkg]

HOW HE GOT INSIDES INFO HE A SPY OR SOMETHING ?:shrug:

[D Dubbs]

HOW HE GOT INSIDES INFO HE A SPY OR SOMETHING ?:shrug:

YES.

[Racattack!Force]

HOW HE GOT INSIDES INFO HE A SPY OR SOMETHING ?:shrug:
He has a relative/friend who works for Cartoon Network. :sweat:

[lossermkg]

really wow!!!!!!!.ok Arithmetician can u ask ur friend wat there plan for toonami???????i really need to know it almost like they forget about.:mad: and thankyou for all the bumper info.;)

[AxeltheNavy]

As long as there are no more kids dancing badly, I'm good.:)

I don't think he has a friend in the company or anything like that. Take a look at his post.

Expect to see more of these bumps next week, lol.The first sentence suggests that these bumps have aired already, this proves that he has not viewed them privately. The second sentence can be seen as sarcasm, he could be saying that CN will play the bump more often now.

[Arithmetician]

I didn't see them privately. CN's rarely shows the bumpers. Check in the morning also, they show some times. I wish I has a TV tuner so I could show you guys.

If the bumpers don't air next week, then CN is waiting until July (from the 1st to the 4th in the month), which will kick off their "CN Summer" look and the 4th of July event thats coming up next month.

Also the announcer has been replaced (THANK GOD).

Also, Animal Logic has been reported working on the bumpers coming from a friend who works in CGI.

[lossermkg]

lol,this confuseing but let just wait.:lol: the announcer sound like the same young man .

[Linkpre]

Animal Logic did the CN City bumps, right? Those were definitely one of my favorites so I'm looking forward to what they'll have to show.

[Blackstar]

Also the announcer has been replaced (THANK GOD).

I'd like it if Cartoon Network were to re-hire that girl who used to do the VOs for a time. She had a cute voice.

[Dr.Pepper]

Agreed

I would rather see Schnitzel than see a bunch of kids doing lame things.

[Shozuka]

By Schnitzel bumps do you possibly mean the parodies like Schnitzel Bop and Gazpacho's?

[strawberryjuice]

nvm about the bumpers. I'm guessing this is a different cn? (I'm slow)

anyways we have some new bumpers here in america that are summer themed (and spanish) it's just more kids dancing around...

I wish I could shee the shnitzel one

[Arithmetician]

YES! Those that have shown in the US

I'm talking about America CN. >_>

I live in the US.

[lossermkg]

wat a Schnitzel Bop and Gazpacho's ?:confused:

[macattack]

I did notice the Power Rangers Turbo movie uses the same ending bumper as Ben 10: Alien Force, speaking of bumpers.

[Racattack!Force]

wat a Schnitzel Bop and Gazpacho's ?:confused:
They usually air around Chowder episodes. Schnitzel Bop is probably either that weird rap song I heard once about Schnitzel or the service announcement. And Gazpacho's are those series of faux ads for Gazpacho's grocery shop. Wait, you mean some of these new bumpers you are talking about are really show promotions? :confused:

[strawberryjuice]

YES! Those that have shown in the US

Those aren't all the new bumpers.

[Mickialla]

OOOOOHHHH you're talking bout the Gazpacho faux ad and the Schnitzel one.
I don't think those are bumps. Those ONLY air after in between Chowder segments, there kinda a part of the show.

Has Animal Logic done any bumps for CN before??? I heard someone here say they did the CGI City bumps. The CGI bumps weren't the best bumps on CN, I'd say they were the second best. So I guess having bumps like those won't be bad.

I'm glad we're getting a new announcer. I don't like the current announcer. I want the Powerhouse announcer back, that'd be cool. The City bumps girl wasn't bad either. It would be a good idea to have the characters announce the shows and stuff. I think they did that once before though...

Anyways, are they repetitive like the current bumps, or do they actually have more variety? And they are definitely those Picket Fence bumps you showed us, right???

[Shozuka]

Well I guess I'm happy that I solved this. =P

[Mickialla]

Well I guess I'm happy that I solved this. =P


you didn't solve it. The bumps that you were talking about aren't the summer bumps, they're special bumps used only in between Chowder episodes. :shrug:

[lossermkg]

Alright this starting to get stupide.:mad: EVRERYBODY WANT TO KNOW HOW CARTOONNETWORK SUMMER LOOK ,LOOK LIKE OK Arithmetician SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO PLEASE TELL US HOW IT LOOK IS NICES GIVE US A IDEA ON WAT U SEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!PLEAESEEEEE!.THANK YOU.:p ;)

[Mickialla]

Calm down, and be patient. If you really want to know maybe you should go turn the TV on and just wait to see if they come on. If I understand what Arithmetician is saying, he means that the bumps are already on, but they don't air too much. They'll be on most likely by next week. And he already put up a picture of how it looks.

[lossermkg]

wat pics ?:shrug: ill leave u guys alone just answer my question how does the other look like Arithmetician ? is it more like a 2005 bumpers or wat? that i need to know wat it look like ?

[Mickialla]

wat pics ?:shrug:


Oh woops, I guess he didn't post it. But I have the pic, it's right here:

This is a screenshot of the Picket Fence Bump:

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a238/YBM/CartoonNetwork.jpg

You can't tell much from this shot other than that its most likely going to be CGI bumps. I've not seen anything about any Schnitzel bumps, only this bump. I can't tell if I like these bumps or not just from this shot. I have to see them for myself.

[Linkpre]

I know it's not likely and all but if Animal Logic is working on these new bumpers and there will supposely be a new announcer, Cartoon Network is planning another network relaunch similar to the 2004 one? Or at least for the summer only?

[Mickialla]

not likely. CN's first relaunch had a logo change, and a good deal of shows were taken off. Neither of those happened this time.

Calm down. He's already said what the bumps are. Listen to me carefully, there are two kinds of bumps. One of the bumps IS CGI. I posted the pic you can look at it here. The other bump has something to do with Schnitzel and I haven't seen it yet so I can't explain it. You need to be patient and wait, it won't kill you to.

[lossermkg]

im sorry ,WAT CGI ?

[Racattack!Force]

im sorry ,WAT CGI ?
O_o...*bangs head on desk* Okay...so let me get this straight? You were asking whether these new bumpers are CGI or not when you don't know what CGI is. Well CGI is...I dunno how to explain it.

[Aclaim]

im sorry ,WAT CGI ?

CGI meaning computer generated imagery. Meaning that the bumpers aren't drawn or animated by hand, but are animated by a computer with special 3-D graphics. That's all I know about CGI anyway.

Can you translate this for me into English?Someone?

I personally think the Dynamite Action bumpers and the "Oh no,he didn't!" bumpers are annoying.Esp. the "Oh no,he didn't!" I never liked that catchphrase.

[lossermkg]

did they do this before? if they did how it look ?

[Aclaim]

did they do this before? if they did how it look ?

Yes CN did this in the CGI city bumps that they used to have a few years ago. I do think think it looked similar overall (with the exception of puppets).

[lossermkg]

Oh Okay So Puppets Are Going To Talk To Cartoons In Cartoonnetwork City ?

[Arithmetician]

Oh Okay So Puppets Are Going To Talk To Cartoons In Cartoonnetwork City ?

No they are not. Only in epic chow.

[Lavenderpaw]

No they are not. Only in epic chow.


Epic show?

[Space Cadet]

Epic show?

Epic Chow. The upcoming Sunday night movie block for CN.

[lossermkg]

so only cartoons in cartoonetwork would be talking to each other ? i promises i wont ask anymore questions Arithmetician just answer this one alst question.

Isn't that just for one upcoming Choweder episode? After tomorrow they won't show it any more.

He might not be online at the moment but when he does log-in he'll see your PM and answer your question.

[lossermkg]

okay thanks

[limel]

I saw the Schnitz Bop one a couple days ago. It's a parody of Kidz Bop, with the kids singing the word "Radda" repeatedly over the beat of the song instead of the lyrics. It was pretty funny, and IIRC it wasn't during a Chowder episode[I randomly turned on the TV one day and it was on].

If this is what the new bumps are going to be like, I want to see more... but I've got to wonder how long it'll be before they get annoying. :/

[Jack_6428]

new announcer ? wow...

i hope its that girl with sexy voice from Cybernet :)
whats her name...

I saw that, it was funny!

And I saw the Gazpacho's market commercial! They had the food from the show in real life, trying to sell it! lol

[Racattack!Force]

The Chowder commercial for a Luxury Snail was simply awesome.

[macattack]

The Chowder commercial for a Luxury Snail was simply awesome.

Yeah, I saw that one on Thursday. :D

[Arithmetician]

The luxry snail one was my favorite out of the Chowder bumps.

Not really on topic, but I was reading over an old thread from June 14 2004, the day Cartoon Network relaunched it's self, and man it's pretty interesting. I'm guessing alot of people didn't mind the change much. I remember thinking it was pretty cool.

Maybe in about a year or two, Cartoon Network will do another "relaunch". It'll certainly be refreshing. Anyway, I'm hoping your right about Animal Logic doing the summer bumpers, Arithmetician. I loved what they did with the City ones.

[lemonhead75]

I'm not gonna even try to get any info out of this wad of information. I'll just watch CN until I notice changes.

[Mickialla]

Is that just an assumption or do u have some inside info?? :confused: Cuz despite the fact that I want something new on CN that could potentially be closer to the pre Relaunch, Cartoon Network needs to stop with all of these crazy changing looks. And if they do have a relaunch, please, no more logo changes. The new one is bad as it is. Cartoon Network needs to find who they are and stick to it.

Back on topic, I haven't seen the new bumps yet, but I'm guessing they're on the air by now. I've been a bit busy, so I might check it out when I get done with some of this hulabaloo Im dealing with right now and then post my feelings.

No, I don't have any inside information or anything, Just making a guess.

And no, Cartoon Network is still airing the fall bumps. I was pretty sure it would start this week considering summer officially starts on Friday. Maybe next week?

To tell you the truth, I like this logo more than the checkerboard logo. :sweat:

[Mickialla]

To tell you the truth, I like this logo more than the checkerboard logo. :sweat:

....why???:sweat:

[Racattack!Force]

....why???:sweat:
The checkerboard refers to an older era which the chanel...okay, it justlooks cooler, and fits the channel.

[Blackstar]

Cartoon Network needs to stop with all of these crazy changing looks. And if they do have a relaunch, please, no more logo changes. The new one is bad as it is.

For the life of me, I'll never understand why you hate the new CN logo so much. I kind of like it myself. Both TBS and TNT also have new logos, but no one seems to mind that. Change happens. Not everything can stay exactly the same, you know.

I wonder how many people would still be hating on the current logo if CN had never altered it's programming. By that, I mean if Cartoon Network only changed it's logo and were still showing now what it was showing back in 2002-2005, would people still be hating on the changed logo?

What I'm getting at is basically this: Is it the really the new logo that people despise, or is it the "new era" for Cartoon Network that the new logo supposedly represents?

[Mickialla]

The checkerboard refers to an older era which the chanel...okay, it justlooks cooler, and fits the channel.

I suppose so, maybe to me the new logo is just a symbol of how Cartoon Network has degraded, but a more reasonable reason I like the older logo is because it's more contemporary. While the new logo is taking an edgy, modern look to it to fit in with the 00's, the original logo is pretty much timeless IMO. Plus, if you think about it, the original logo is to an extent STILL the network's logo. On a lot of merchandise, the older logo is used, the older logo is also used at the bottom of the CN website, plus the old logo is present in the CNS logo. I don't know, but all in all, I like the older logo better.

It sounds to me like you're embodying the point that Blackstar mentioned above: that it's not the logo you dislike so much as the changes to the network that came along with it. I've heard a lot of hate for CN's new logo over the years, there have even been online petitions to get the old logo back. But that's futile, because a logo change wouldn't bring the old Cartoon Network back. People are just scapegoating the new logo.

Artistically speaking (and this is coming from a student of art deco), the new logo is more streamlined and efficient (as 2 tiles are easier to reproduce than 14) and the tiles are bigger and easier to read: from a distance, the old logo looks like a gray blur.

Other networks are likewise simplifying their logos to just 1 or 2 characters: Discovery Channel has recently switched its' trademark from the channel's full name to just a capital 'D' with a globe in front of it. Science Channel has also shortened its' logo down to an orange square with an 'Sc' on it, like on a Periodic Table of Elements. Even Boomerang's logo is just a letter 'B' shaped like a boomerang rather than the entire name. These days it's all about streamlining.

My point: if you're dissatisfied with the state of CN now, you're not alone (goodness knows complaints against CN pop up here almost every day) but the fault lies not with the new logo.

I like the new logo and liked the change that came with it, until the change took a turn for the worst around 2005.

Despite how I said that it might've been how the logo symbolizes CN's degradation, I did give a sensible reason for my dislike of the logo as well. Though the old logo was a bit more complicated and harder to read, it was more contemporary, you could kinda smack it into any time period and it would fit in. The current CN logo has the flavor of the 00's, with diagonal lines and angles that reminisce abstract modern art. I haven't taken many art classes, though I plan to, but I think that's a reasonable reason for my dislike of the logo.

Actually, you are right. I can just see it now. With the channel's current bumpers, I could see a bunch of cubes mixing together, finally forming the Cartoon Network checkerboard logo. :sweat:

[Foster'sFriend]

I think Animal Logic would most probablly return to CN work at one point, seeing as their 'city look' was well approved by CN and its audiance. Or maybe their doing work for other CN country broadcasters. I live in the southern part of Africa and these are the bumpers that have popped up, and they look ALOT like their work. Not to mention alot of old city bumpers have popped up during ad breaks.

In this long ad the cartoons are seen chasing after a soccer ball in Europe! I know very confusing :shrug:

Sorry if it came off like I was criticizing you. I wasn't. You're reasons for preferring the old logo are your own and they are indeed justifiable. I was speaking more from a design standpoint than a personal one. I don't really have a preference in this case, though I will say that the new logo is just simpler and easier to replicate. My remarks were directed more towards the people who've proclaimed their hatred for a couple of black-and-white tiles, as if the logo itself was responsible for ushering in the changes made at CN.

I have no issues with CN's new logo, but if they suddenly switched back to the original one (though one of the reasons CN changed the 14 letter tile pile in the first place was to simplify their trademark), I wouldn't shed a tear.

Wow. They add Xiaolin Showdown to the bumpers? I'd love to see this soccer bump.

[Jack_6428]

although the new current logo of CN (since 2004) looks ok and goes well with the way the network is going and what look it has...i still liked the checkboard one more...maybe because it had more elements, but maybe, because it showed better toons too...True, the old logo wouldnt go with todays CN at all...But, they really should think about what are they doing..
why the hell they cant have for 3hrs every weekend (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) a block when the current Cn with its logo aswell would change into the old Cn and show old toons with old bumpers...going back from 92 till 99...like a partial repeatable marathon ?
That would be good, since it would make the old-gen fans happy aswell as the current viewers and maybe they would be happy aswell...

I doubt that would ever happen. A network rarely has two logos being shown simultaneously. Even Nick, whose original famous orange logo was more oval shaped and read "Nickelodeon" is now more circular and simply reads "Nick". I can understand the viewpoint that networks change their logos to make them more readable and simpler to create. Personally I don't necessarily think the current CN logo is BAD, just the original logo is better.
Silverstar, I know you weren't criticizing me, I just wanted to make it clear that I had more than just a "I don't like it" reason to my preference of the original logo to the current.

the old cartoonetwork logo was good and long ,but the new logo look alot beter and easy instead of seeing the whole name they make it simply by puting CN. http://www.frederiksamuel.com/blog/images/carnet.jpg

[Foster'sFriend]

Wow. They add Xiaolin Showdown to the bumpers? I'd love to see this soccer bump.

Yeah they add loads of toons nowadays, anyway if you would like to watch it just click the link in my signiture to my bumper collections YouTube channel.

And on the CN logo change, I like the new one although many people like the old checkerboard logo. It had flair and it did stand out. But Cartoon Network modernised their logo just like Nick did and I think it was for the better. :anime:

Wow. I remember back in the day, CN UK never used original animation for their bumpers. It's nice they finally changed it. It's pretty neat!

[Mickialla]

I'm watching CN right now, and I still see the same old kids running around and the same old song playing and the same old doodles floating around in the sky. What's up?? When exactly are these new bumpers going to take over. I haven't seen this Mung Daal Luxury Snail Bump yet, and I've only seen the Schnitzel Bop and Service Announcement bumps once each. I still haven't seen the Picket Fence Bumps yet. People who say they've seen it say they're being reminded of the city bumps. Well I wanna be reminded of the city bumps too!! It's the middle of June now. If I still see these kids jumping and running around in the middle of August, I'm gonna be pretty mad.

You should probably watch Har Har Tharsdays, since that's where the Mung Daal Luxury Snail Bump first aired.

I know, all of the Chowder-related bumps that have been mentioned that I have seen I've seen during Har Har Tharsdays and ONLY during Har Har Thursdays. I've only ever seen them air in between the Chowder segments on Har Har Tharsdays. Are these bumps HHT exclusive???

Apperently so. :sweat:

[Mickialla]

Apperently so. :sweat:

Well if they're HHT exclusive, than that means they're not a part of the "Summer Look". Rather their in-between bumps for Har Har Tharsdays. Do you get what I'm saying?? The only bump that isn't apart of HHT is the Picket Fence one, which I've also yet to see. So I'm hoping these new bumps begin next week, because CN usually doesn't wait this long to put up new bumps, so it's either next week or not at all, and I'm direly hoping its the first.

Same here. Because this wait is killing me. It would be shocking to see if All of Cartoon Network's bumper money for the summer went into the HHT bumps. :shrug:

The 'Picket Fence' isn't really a bump. It's just the graphic the network uses whenever they're having technical difficulties.

[strawberryjuice]

more input: I really liked the chekerboard design, and the new one is just ok... it doesn't do anything for me. But I suffer a bit of nostalgia looking at the new logo too and seeing how half my generation is over (since I'm only 15) and a new has taken over. Same with mickellia's reason to see how the station and downgraded.

All peoples' nostalgic fondness for it aside, the old checkerboard logo was just too big, complicated, clunky and inefficient; it was like if the CBS eye had the words "Columbia Broadcasting Company" squeezed inside the pupil or if ABC's ball had the words "American Broadcasting Corporation" plastered all over it. As much as some of us dislike the new 2-tile logo, the fact remains that it's simpler and easier to reproduce for the trades, and that's ultimately all that matters. Modernizing the CN logo was a business decision; choosing a symbol has nothing to do with nostalgic preference. If that were the case, NBC would still be using their old xylophone logo.

[Linkpre]

Arithmetician, no disrespect or anything, but are you sure your friend said there would be new summer bumps or did he say it was only a rumor? It just seems like CN will be keeping the fall bumps around considering they made a fall Flapjack bump.

If these are still here by the end of the summer, I'm going to start calling them the "Norm Bumps", since we've had them for over 9 months. :sweat:

[Mickialla]

And it's not too funny either. What's wrong with CN. When they had good bumps they changed them over the summer, and when the summer ended CN would come back with bumps that weren't as good as the bumps they replaced. For example the CGI bumps were replaced over the summer of 2006 by the "Yes!" Bumps. When the summer ended, those bumps were replaced by the Refined City look, which wasn't done in CGI, but in flat, dark colors and wasn't as good as the CGI bumps but still not bad. Then those bumps were replaced over the summer by the "Kids Jumping in Pool" bumps. When Summer 2007 ended, we got these Fall Bumps. Now, when the bumps can't get any worse, they better not decide to keep them around, since they got rid of all of their good/ok bumps over the summer. I'd be pretty mad if they decided to keep the bad bumps on over the summer but they changed all the bumps that were better than them when summer came around. Do you understand what I'm saying???

[Racattack!Force]

Only this part. :sweat:

[Mickialla]

Only this part. :sweat:


:D
Basically what I was saying was that whenever CN had good/alright bumps (i.e the CGI Bumps and the Red Background Bumps), they'd end up changing them when summer came. So I'd be mad if they didn't change the bumps over the summer when the regular bumps were bad this time. Do you understand it now???? :sweat:

[strawberryjuice]

I just hope they change the bumps soon. I'm getting pretty tired of these.

One theory. Maybe Cartoon Network has a certain contract with the company providing the bumpers, meaning maybe these bumps have a certain time limit until their contract ends. This is something to keep in mind. I have a feeling new bumps will start next fall unfortunately. But hopefully they will come sooner. Maybe cartoon network is also trying to find a different company to make bumpers. (they switched companies to make new bumpers right?) If thats true, their either still in the works, or trying to find a company (if this is true)

that's actually a really good theory. I never thought about the bump makers having contracts. You also brought something to my mind. If we know that Animal Logic is the company that made the CGI bumps, is there some way to find out who made the Powerhouse Bumps???

[Silverstar]

No CN bumps were worse than the "YES!" bumps, IMO. I've said it before and I'll say it again: randomness is not funny.

Anyways, don't expect the bumps to always be super-elaborate. Bumps cost money, and these days CN, like most networks, is trying to be a little more cost efficient. The "City" bumps were favorites of mine, but they were also super-expensive to produce.

[Master Toon]

Maybe they're waiting until the first day of summer or maybe in early July.

[strawberryjuice]

that's actually a really good theory. I never thought about the bump makers having contracts. You also brought something to my mind. If we know that Animal Logic is the company that made the CGI bumps, is there some way to find out who made the Powerhouse Bumps???

I looking up some information on google about the bumps. So far I've found nothing. I'll update once I've found anything. I would love to know who was responsible for the powerhouse era myself :)

[Mickialla]

the first day of summer would be tomorrow :D

The Fall bumps are worse than the "Yes" Bumps. I consider the "Yes" bumps to be the second worst bumps in CN history, and they themselves arent' that bad. Which means it's a big drop from the Yes Bumps to the Fall Bumps.

I wanted to throw out my tv every time those bumps came on. And not only that, but I had to see ads for them going to school as my dad drove and in the mall whenever I was shopping. (even if that didn't have sound it was still horrifying)

I can. When I refer to Powerhouse Bumps, I'm not referring to only the bumps with the Powerhouse music in the background. Do you remember the promos with Fred Flintstone, Chicken, and Thundarr trying to find a parking space??? How about the one where Yogi Bear loses his I.D?? I consider those Powerhouse bumps too, and they also seem to be made by Primal Screen. On top of that, Primal Screen also made the opening intros for Cartoon Cartoon Fridays and Fridays (The Live Action Version). Looking at their portfolio, I personally think CN should get Primal Screen back to work on some bumps, cuz I personally am impressed. ;)

these bumps are what compose what us Cartoon Network dorks call "The Powerhouse Era". It's called the Powerhouse Era because the music that plays in the back of most of the We'll Be Back/Coming Up Next/Back to the Show bumps is called Powerhouse. By the looks of it, all the bumps listed above were produced by Primal Screen. I also include the following Promos within the Powerhouse Era, and they also happen to be produced by Primal Screen. These following bumps depict CN characters actually "working" at Cartoon Network.

I personally consider the Powerhouse era to be Cartoon Network's Golden Age, because it featured the best design and the most cartoons.

[Racattack!Force]

Wait a minute, now I'm confused. I knew what you were talking about until you got into the checkerboard era. So I already know what the Powerhouse Era is. What I should have asked is what the Checkerboard Era is. :sweat:

[Master Toon]

What I should have asked is what the Checkerboard Era is. :sweat:

I'd like to know that as well.

[Dudley]

I'd like to know that as well.

The Checkerboard era was before the Powerhouse Era.

In other news....

OMG.

I knew the entire frickin' lyrics to Booboo Baba Dee Dee. People actually PAID me to sing it.
Good times.

Btw, Powerhouse Era was Cartoon Network's era of awesomeness.

Who woulden't remember those!!?
I started to see it more once I looked therough the website. I just never expected this to be the same company that did pbs kids too apparently.

I'm not sure if I remember the chekerboard era well, since I was like 5 or something, (Actually,I was a nickelodeon fan at the time so I remember it much better than CN during this period.) The chekerboard era was before cartoon cartoons back when CN had mostly hannah-barbera,looney tunes,chuck jones you name it.

and OMG THAT SONG, man I always loved that promo.

[Racattack!Force]

The chekerboard era was before cartoon cartoons back when CN had mostly hannah-barbera,looney tunes,chuck jones you name it.

Oh, no wonder. I couldn't remember that far back...in fact, I wasn't even born yet for a good chunk of that era.

[Mickialla]

Oh, no wonder. I couldn't remember that far back...in fact, I wasn't even born yet for a good chunk of that era.

The Checkerboard Era lasted from 1992, to '97, to be exact, the day that Johnny Bravo and Cow and Chicken premiered, or around their. Most people were

1) Too young to remember this era
2) More of Nick fans than CN fans
3) Didn't get CN at the time

I'm not sure which category I fall into, all I know is that I didn't remember the Checkerboard Era until I saw the bumps online.

[Jack_6428]

Oh, no wonder. I couldn't remember that far back...in fact, I wasn't even born yet for a good chunk of that era.

i had the honor to be with CN from the beginning in 92...at that time i remember i didnt understand much of what was going on (i was 3 back then)and they aired mostly those LooneyToones and the "gentle good" HB toons :) When 93 came, it then started to get exciting hehe..imo, the best years of Cartoon Network are 1994-1999..that, was priceless...i especially loved Powerzone and the time when Cartoon Cartoons had those blue bumpers...and cant forget when What a Cartoon Show! came in..it was freakin awsome...plus all those great 80s shows too...and Swat Kats came too :) Addams family, centurions...in 97 real jonny quest...and "go planet..." :) jeez...really great times...WPT, i remember them and space ghost introducing it lol..but thats so back away...anyways, i really loved CartoonNetwork..the last good time it actually was good enough was in 03 when airing SW:Clone Wars...from late 04 the station is crap and every year its getting worse...i wish it got cancelled..i never liked Nickelodeon, but now...omg, theres no good kids tv station...Jetix, Nick, Disney, CN..all died.
shame.

[Dudley]

I remember, I watched Cartoon Network for the first time during the checkerboard era.
It was back around 1995, and I never went past the channel number that Nickelodeon was on. One night I did, and I came across Cartoon Network, just as they were showing a bumper saying that they'll air cartoons 24/7.

And I've been watching it ever since.

[Racattack!Force]

Wait.. you have to know what it means because you used it perfectly. Are you doing what Bloo did when he said he didn't understand sarcasm but was constantly using it?

Anyway, back then it was true and it was true for many years until everything changed.

[Mickialla]

Anyway, back then it was true and it was true for many years until everything changed.

Most people think that Cartoon Network's first instance of live action was very recent. They refer to Fridays, or Fried Dynamite, or Out of Jimmy's Head, or the Live Action Movies. Cartoon Network has had a history with live action, both in bumps and shows, before all of those, and some of them were pretty early on in their history. Space Ghost C2C used a lot of Live Action. And don't forget Small World and Big Bag, which were both Live Action. Then when Cartoon Cartoon Fridays first started coming on, before the Cartoon Hosts came along, the bumps were done in Live Action then too. So though Live Action has become more prominent recently, it's been around on the network for quite a while, dating back as far as '9....5 i think. Whenever Space Ghost C2C came out.

[Racattack!Force]

Wait.. you have to know what it means because you used it perfectly. Are you doing what Bloo did when he said he didn't understand sarcasm but was constantly using it?
I basically understand what it means, but don't really understand the concept. :sweat:

[macattack]

I never got to experience Checkerboard nor do I remember Powerhouse well at all. I did like the City bumpers though, it gave everything a unique experience and a lot of the interaction between the various characters resembled little shorts, like the Wedgies do right now. I still miss the City bumpers.

[Space Cadet]

The bumps for The Flicks are pretty simple. It has the family gathered around the TV set watching the movie. When the movie goes to commercial break, one of the parents pauses the movie while one of the other members leaves the couch(probably a bathroom break or getting more snacks). Like I said, its simple but cool.

Well I meant as far as the shows go. I have no problem with live action in the bumps. It's true that Space Ghost C2C had live action but the animation was the dominate part of the show.

I agree, I really like the Flicks bumps although I wish they would play different types of movies.

Also, apparently the new summer bumpers should be here next week, from what Arithmetician said in another topic. I'm not getting my hopes up though.

Yea, I'm not too fond of the movies shown on The Flicks either. I saw a bump for it yesterday promoting the movies it would be showing. I swear I didn't see one cartoon movie in that montage.

I'm not getting my hopes up for the new bumps either. I really want to see these bumps gone, but seeing them stick around for this long is getting rid of my optimism.

[Linkpre]

Yeah so the "Fall" bumpers are still here this week too, so far. Arithmetician, maybe the guy who told you about these supposed new bumpers was just messing around with you. I mean, it'll be July tommorrow and summer started a week ago.

I'll wait it out the week for a final judgement, but I'm starting to guess these "new bumpers" won't debut 'till September, if they even exist.

Arithmetician? Maybe you got bumpers confused with promos. :confused:

[Arithmetician]

No, I didn't, because the Shnitzel and Thursday Bumpers were made by a different company. I don't know why the bumpers aren't airing. CN is too lazy.

Well, do you know if these supposely new bumpers are specifically summer themed or more general types? I'm thinking Cartoon Network will wait until fall to the show them. That may be the reason they haven't shown up yet.

I too, am intrigued with these yet-to-air bumpers.

Mybe the new bumps were canceled. It could happen.

I thought other people said they saw the bumps as well, not just Arithmetician. or am I getting this confused with another thread?
